55It was fun. We took some nice pictures. And my dog finally got to try some different equipments. But I didn’t expect the guardian dog would be this close to us. Even though it was safe with the fence on, we were nervous at that point. I think my other dog would love to come here next time, but not my husky lolKelly L.

55My dog had a lot of fun here running around, playing on the agility equipment, and seeing some farm animals. Lots of stuff available to entertain your pet. I wish people would pick up after their pets thou there were a few messes out in the field. I would book again, great way to get a tired dog. Lynn M.

FAQ about our Waterloo dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks.
